I assume 134 is like the R12 which an AC shop could check for and identify leaks unless you just want to renew the whole system.

Previous owner of mine replaced the compressor with a newer rotary type and the hoses as well but installed the dryer backwards. Once I removed it and turned it around mine blows cold and has not leaked down. My condenser, expansion valve and evaporator are original best I can tell.

From what little I know if the system has not been charged and used occasionally or has been open for some period of time naturally the compressor seals may suffer from lack of lubrication.

Replace the dryer. If it breaks up then a system flush and expansion valve will be required as I had to do once on a 380SL.
